Autism File Magazine - December/January 2018

Since 1999, the Autism File has been one of the most widely known and respected media sources of information and support for families affected by autism. Readers recognize the magazine as the “go to” resource for navigating the often frustrating and confusing world of autism spectrum disorders. The Autism File has often been called a “lifeline” for those in desperate need of resources and support, with content providing parents, siblings, educators, therapists, and caregivers with much needed information in supporting an individual diagnosed with autism.

Each Autism File covers a diverse range of topics relevant to autism including:
